Mr. William J. Conkling 908 Union Building, Newark, New Jersey.
Sir:
I have to advise you, that from the records of this Bureau, it appears that Eliphalet Easton, enlisted May 31, 1777, served as a private in Colonel Chandler's Connecticut Regiment and was discharged May 23, 1780. In 1778, at Danbury, Connecticut, while moving sacks of salt, he was wounded in the left hand, which resulted in the loss of use of two fingers.
He was pensioned for said disability, from December 31, 1806, and he died July 22, 1816.
There is no data on file as to his family and no further data on file as to his services.
Respectfully,
Commissioner.

Mr. T. B. Warren 2354 North Ave. Bridgeport, Conn. his. no papers
Sir:
In response to your letter of the 21 st ultimo, you are advised that the Revolutionary War records of this Bureau fail to afford any information, in regard to Captain Edward Cooville.
You were furnished on August 13, 1919, the history of the only Revolutionary War soldier of Connecticut, named James Warren, found on the records. Owing to the lack of a clerical force available for the purpose, this Bureau is unable to furnish the same Revolutionary War record twice to any inquirer.
From the records of the Bureau , it appears that Eliphalet Easton , enlisted May 31, 1777, served as a private in Colonel Chandler's Conn. Regiment and was discharged May 23, 1780. In 1778, at Danbury, Conn. while moving casks of salt, he was wounded in the left hand, which resulted in the loss of use of two fingers.

He was pensioned for said disability, from Dec. 31, 1806, and he died July 22, 1816.
There is no data on file as to his family and no further data on file as to his services.
Very respectfully,
A handwritten signature in cursive, appearing to read "Washington Brandee".
Commissioner.
